If you've ever felt like your best years are still ahead of you, they are. There is a version of you on the other side of this transition that is more alive than ever. In this podcast, we’re going to talk about metabolic health, hormones, nutrition, and the foundation that makes everything else possible. If you found your way to Wilding Fifty a few years ago and listened to those early episodes about surfing and adventure and living fully, thank you. Wilding has never just been about surfing. It is about refusing to shrink. It is about staying fiercely alive in whatever chapter you are in. And for women in the perimenopausal transition and in menopause, it requires getting your health foundations right so the rest of your life has solid support.

    Strength Training as a Way of Life with Heather Cameron

    In this episode with Heather Cameron, we discuss how she uses local space and resources to create Cameron Fitness Beach Boot Camp, why baby buggies and boot camp do go together, growing from injury, her favorite surfboard, learning to surf the old school way, fear and motherhood, why strength training matters, and how to create a passion project. Heather reminds us that good things come to those who practice and train as a way of life. Highlights: [0:00 - 10:09]  Cameron Fitness Beach Boot Camp [10:10- 13:20]  Growing from injury [13:21 - 13:47]  Baby buggies and boot camp [17:08 - 25:07]  Our surf session [25:08 - 29:06]  Learning to surf old school [25:08 - 29:06] Fear and motherhood [29:07 - 35:02] Strength training matters [35:03 - 38:26] Creating a passion project Quotes: “During all that alone time running on the beach near the pier. It just dawned on me, I should probably do some fitness by this beach. This beach is amazing! When you're in that flow state of running, all kinds of ideas come into your head.” “I didn't have a wetsuit, so I would be freezing. It'd be the middle of winter and I would just be in my bikini. But I didn't even care. After, I would have to have somebody help me start my car because I could not move my hands.” “It's empowering to feel strong, even when you're just doing something like changing your furniture around in your house, to be able to move things. If anybody needed you for something, you have the strength to do it. I guess it's just a way of life for me now.” Get in touch with Heather Instagram cameronfitnessoceansideFacebook Cameron FitnessWebsite CameronFitness.comMore about Christine Foerster christinefoerster.comInstagram @christinefoersterConnect with me at christinefoerster.com
